• Data-Driven Pipeline Tracking: Maintain accurate contacts, outreach activity, follow-ups, opportunities, and next steps in the CRM to support a fast-moving event sales pipeline.
• AI-Enabled Prospecting & Research: Use AI tools, LinkedIn, CRM data, and team-provided lead lists to identify and qualify attendee and exhibitor opportunities, develop prospect insights, and support personalized outreach at scale.
• Travel and Additional Responsibilities: Travel occasionally to support events, meetings, and business needs. Other duties as assigned.

Qualifications & Skills

• Experience: Two to three years of inside or outbound sales experience, in conferences or events. Familiarity with life sciences, healthcare, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, academia, research, startups, or related sectors is a plus.
• Sales Mindset: Resilient, motivated, and comfortable with consistent outbound activity, persuasive follow-up, and deadline-driven closing.
• Communication: Confident and professional by phone and email, with strong verbal and written communication skills.
• AI and Sales Technology: Demonstrated hands‑on experience using generative AI and AI‑assisted sales tools for prospect research, lead qualification, personalized outreach, content development, and workflow efficiency. Proficiency with CRM platforms such as HubSpot or Salesforce, email sequencing tools, Excel, and LinkedIn is required.
